A) You must make sure that the drivers get loaded at boot time and that the
necessary initialization takes place. The simplest way to do this is
to add the following commands to your rc.local file:
modprobe prism2_pci
modprobe prism2_pci [or prism2_usb/prism2_plx]
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=<your APs SSID> authtype=opensystem
ifconfig wlan0 <yourIP> netmask <yourNetmask> broadcast <yourBroadcast>
